Lets see what kind of assorted and sundry stuff I have collected in a month of wandering, shall we? December is always a busy month around these parts, and a lot of fun as well. Hmm, what is in the drawer, whatcha been doin?
We got the holiday decorations up, the wee tyke helped us here and of course he helped the Sheeple gram decorate her abode. He also made some ornaments and wall decorations. I came home one night and he was covered in glitter, he was painting stars.
Better 1/2 made a metric buttload of rock candy and cookies. i even shared some with my fellow workers. Speaking of food, we had a cool pot luck at work, who doesn't like a potluck? and better 1/2 proved her culinary skills again. Grammy Sheeple made her famous waffles for Christmas Day so all in all, it was food month.
We had a good Christmas, tyke got a bunch of games and proceeded to beat dear old dad at Candy Land, repeatedly. The little shaver has the knack. After carefully explaining the colors and that is how you move the pieces, he goes right out and gets the ice cream cone. I never was much good at Candy Land and although we have been playing with chess pieces, he hasn't got that one down yet. Mostly the 'guys' rough each other up and tip each other over. Someday he'll get it and beat me at that too I am sure.
Better 1/2 got us Rock Band Beatles, sneaky mom that she is, and we have played that and it was a lot of fun. We ushered in the new year playing rock band and eating grammy made snacks. The eldest sheeple kiddo turned twenty one that night and we had a good party. I guess it was a party month.
In the realm of writing I have been accruing page upon page of novel story, worked on the short stories, finished a sestina and a few other poems. Been working on the sheeple stories too, as you can tell from the seven part story I just posted. it has been a good month there as well. I got a couple of poetry rejections, but hey thats cool. Oh, I also won a short story contest, which was cool, and I got a nice surprise, winning a contest for blogging about the Kindle Rush Experiment.
It was a good month and a good year. I think we are going to do some big stuff this year, in writing, and on the family front. Should be fun!
Happy Wanderings!
